Happier Adaptiv camper van changes the game with Lego-style modularity

• https://newatlas.com, By C.C. Weiss

 Its comprehensive conversion kit creates camper vans that can transform into ... camper vans, of many different styles. 

The company is adapting the modular interior hardware from its HC1 camping trailer, making a camper van conversion that breaks down into blocks and builds up like Lego. The Adaptiv kit makes it easier to create the exact camper van floor plan you like – then blow it all up and change it when you realize you don't really like it as much as you thought. You can even adjust it on the fly at camp, creating many different layouts from first light to lights out. A truly game-changing design, the Adaptiv kit dials camper van versatility up to maximum.

Just last week, we thought we had found the most modular, flexible camper van out there in the all-new Pössl Vanster. Now Happier brings something that's even more flexible and modular, and it will actually be built and sold in the USA, unlike the Vanster and so many cool camper vans that never find their way out of Europe.

It all starts with the Adaptiv floor. Happier skips the floor rails that underpin most other modular vans and secures down a fiberglass floor with a 3x6 grid of tiles. Instead of large kitchen, bed and storage furniture attaching permanently to the van or mounting non-permanently to tie-down rails in specific locations, the Adaptiv system's small, easily-removed building blocks snap into place on the tiles, making designing a van interior much like building with Lego.

Slim storage modules cover the wheel wells, framing the flat 3x6-tile floor. Middle-row floor tiles include central cutouts for attaching the table stand, while some of the outer tiles have D-rings for lashing down gear and cargo.
